12/00 ..."Be full of passion, in all you do...the vacuum that surrounds the soul driven, the quest for inner peace that comes with the satisfaction of 100% effort exerted, that is passion. It is a quiet, internal hunger to touch perfection. But, you see, the passion that drives us is not a painful, angst-ridden, panicked or lust-filled anxiety. Rather, it is like the calm discipline of the hunger striker, reflecting on his hunger pangs, cherishing the burning in his gut as a purifying pain. I think that there is hope for you yet, in terms of shedding your negativity, toward achieving that inner peace that comes from acceptance of one's own self...Going to bed at night knowing that you did not hold back in the gym, or at work, or interacting with others, but rather that you gave 100% of yourself to other people [whether deserving or not]; this is what makes your individual trip on earth meaningful. And that is how we will change the world..." -Pete Ciccone
